wierd issue with paths.
 
one of my paths is tasnim.

so anyways it works most of the time but sometimes paths seem to miss fire or not fire at all.

so ..tasnim which should take me back to the center of town, instead, grabs the sn from the middle of tasnim and moves south then north.

this doesn't happen all the time and this isn't the only trig it happens too.

any ideas?

It's only one '.' for the paths so I think you really should be doing
Code:
.tasnim
instead.

Another possibility could be a scoping issue depending on where you have the path defined and where it's accessible. My guess would be the frist one though.

N and S are the only "normal" directions in that path.. Perhaps your custom directions are getting disabled or something?

There is nothing wrong with having a path called tasnim and calling it with ..tasnim in order to go the reverse direction as far as I know.

Things to think about:

1. Maybe only have valid directions in the stored path so no open doors or stuff like that.
2. From the looks of your other posts you get crashes and choose to continue at which point some memory is corrupted so weird behaviour like you are experiencing can happen.
3. Definitely quit once you get the crash screen.

Just to make sure but... whatever custom directions you've put in, are they configured correctly with the return directions included? The way you described the return path problem it seems the non-standard directions you have don't have the reverse counterpart in your configuration for the "Directions" package.
